I was banned under the moniker cornholio a few months ago, without having posted even once (under the assumption I was a sock puppet, I think).
If you were cornholio, I think they thought you were someone else, vegasrefugee to be exact. He sometimes posts as Dr Cornholio or something like that.
They are on a tear over there, aren't they? No doubt you got chopped because of your copywrite comments. (They don't like their supposed power questioned, even when the questioner is a lawyer who might keep them out of legal trouble, if they paid heed).
I suppose the cornholio banning could have been related to that. I actually created the zippy account to let them know that I wasn't a sock puppet, and to see if I could be unbanned. The result was a sort of apology for the banning, but Chaos wasn't going to publicly admit the mistake (much better to appear to have super powers that can discern evil and promptly banish it, I suppose), so cornholio remained banned and zippy was allowed to live (briefly, it appears).
The absurd thing is that I actually tried to limit my snark here, so as to avoid being banned there (I know they obsessively monitor this board). So I suppose the silver lining is that the snark can rise again!

I'd say you got the axe for being on here. I feel like a bloody prophet. Didn't I say on one of Scratch's polls that another Nov 5 was going to happen?
Was beastie banned?

Absurd, isn't it? That they would police what you do elsewhere and penalize you for it? Control issues, much? Dorks.

At least they didn't get my sockpuppet. ;)

That's what is so weird. At least one of the mods knew exactly who I was. I don't get it. I never made any attempt to hide my identity. If you recall, I posted my Book of Mormon Evidence thread both here and on MAD quite a while back.
